Features not Supported

EdgeIron does not support Layer 3 features, such as: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Foundry Standby Router Protocol IP Load Sharing IP v6 IS-IS Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP) Multiprotocol Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) Network Address Translation (NAT) Netflow Outbound ACLs ACL-based Rate Limiting Policy Based Routing Super Aggregated VLANs SuperSpan VLAN-based priority Policy-Based Routing

Switch Architecture

The EdgeIron 2402CF and EdgeIron 4802CF employ a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. These switches also feature full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

Switching Method

The switches use store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-andforward switching, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.

Management Options

The EdgeIron 2402CF and EdgeIron 4802CF contain a comprehensive array of LEDs for at-aglance monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a built-in network management agent that allows the switch to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 and 9) protocols, with a Web browser, or remotely via Telnet. The switch provides an RS-232 serial port (DB-9 connector) on the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and monitoring out-of band via a null-modem cable. (See "Cables" on page 13-1 for wiring options.) These switches provide a wide range of advanced performance-enhancing features. Port-based and tagged VLANs, plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration and IGMP multicast filtering provide traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. CoS priority queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm control prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network. For a detailed description of the switches' advanced features, refer to the Foundry EdgeIron User Guide.

Description of Hardware

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports
These are dual-speed RJ-45 ports. Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments on page 13-5.) Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually. Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
These are combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports that are shared with Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled. The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straightthrough cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See 1000BASE-T Pin Assignments on page 13-5.)

1000BASE-T Ports

These ports are RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, full and half duplex. RJ-45 ports 21-24 on the 24G-A and RJ-45 ports 45-48 on the 48G are combination ports that are shared with Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. Because all ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See Cables on page 13-1.) Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually. Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

SFP Slots

The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with four of the RJ-45 ports (EdgeIron 24G-A ports 21~24, and EdgeIron 48G ports 45~48). If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port. 3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC or SC port on the switch and the other end to the port on the other device. Since LC and SC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation. Figure 10-3. Making Fiber Port Connections
As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.
10 Gbps Fiber Optic Connections
An optional 10 Gigabit transceiver (Xenpak or XFP) can be used for a backbone connection between switches. Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on. 1. Remove and keep the ports protective cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the cover should be replaced to protect the optics. 2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port. 3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.
4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the module to be sure that the connection is valid.
Chapter 11 Managing the Device
This chapter describes how to enter and configure login parameters, and use the Command Line Interface (CLI) including how to configure basic, non-protocol features on EdgeIron devices. More detailed information can be found in the EdgeIron User Guide.

Accessing the CLI

When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct connection to the servers console port, or via a Telnet connection, the switch can be managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switchs command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.
Connecting to the Console Port
The DB-9 serial port on the switchs front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. A null-modem console cable is provided with the switch. Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the switch. You can use the console cable provided with the package, or use a null-modem cable that is compatible with the following console pin assignments. Figure 11-1. Serial Port (DB-9 DTE) Pin-Out

Logging on through the CLI

Console Connection

To access the switch through the console port, perform these steps: 1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user names are admin and guest with corresponding passwords of admin and guest.) When the administrator user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the Console# prompt and enters privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec). But when the guest user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the Console> prompt and enters normal access mode (i.e., Normal Exec). 2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks. 3. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command. After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays:
User Access Verification Username: admin Password: CLI session with the EdgeIron 4802CF is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]. Console#

Managing the Device

Telnet Connection
Telnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this environment, your management station and any network device you want to manage over the network must have a valid IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Each address consists of a network portion and host portion. For example, the IP address assigned to this switch, 10.1.0.1, consists of a network portion (10.1.0) and a host portion (1). To access the switch through a Telnet session, you must first set the IP address for the switch, and set the default gateway if you are managing the switch from a different IP subnet. By default, the switch uses DHCP to assign IP settings to VLAN 1 on the switch. If you wish to manually configure IP settings, you need to change the switchs user-specified defaults to values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the switch and management stations that exist on another network segment. You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other management interfaces. Foundry devices support both classful IP network masks (i.e. Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on), and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR). To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter 209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0 for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.

Note: If your network uses a BootStrap Protocol (BootP) server or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, you can allow the Foundry device to obtain an IP address on the network.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1 Console(config-if)#ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0 Console(config-if)#exit Console(config)#ip default-gateway 10.1.0.254
If your corporate network is connected to another network outside your office or to the Internet, you need to apply for a registered IP address. However, if you are attached to an isolated network, then you can use any IP address that matches the network segment to which you are attached. After you configure the switch with an IP address, you can open a Telnet session by performing these steps. 1. From the remote host, enter the Telnet command and the IP address of the device you want to access. 2. At the prompt, enter the user name and system password. The CLI will display the Vty-n# prompt for the administrator to show that you are using privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec), or Vty-n> for the guest to show that you are using normal access mode (i.e., Normal Exec), where n indicates the number of the current Telnet session. 3. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks. 4. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.
After entering the Telnet command, the login screen displays:
Username: admin Password: CLI session with the EdgeIron 4802CF is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]. Vty-0#
Note: You can open up to four sessions to the device via Telnet.
Logging On Through the Web Management Interface
To use the Web management interface, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Foundry device in the Location or Address field. The web browser contacts the Foundry device and displays a Login panel. Note: If you are unable to connect with the device through a Web browser due to a proxy problem, it may be necessary to set your Web browser to direct Internet access instead of using a proxy. For information on how to change a proxy setting, refer to the on-line help provided with your Web browser. To log in, enter your user name and password. The following dialog is displayed.
By default, you can use the user name admin and the default password admin for read/write access. To configure user names and passwords refer to the following section.
Navigating the Web Management Interface
When you log into a device, the System configuration panel is displayed. This panel allows you to enable or disable major system features. You can return to this panel from any other panel by selecting the Home link. The left pane of the Web management interface window contains a tree view, similar to the one found in Windows Explorer. Configuration options are grouped into folders in the tree view. These

folders, when expanded, reveal additional options. To expand a folder, click on the plus sign to the left of the folder icon.
Using the Web Management Interface
1. Click on the plus sign next to any of the folders in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options for each category. For example, clicking on the plus sign next to System in the tree view expands the list of system configuration links.
2. Enable or disable elements on the Web management interface by clicking on the appropriate radio buttons or by entering parameters in the appropriate boxes. Note: The Web management interface requires Netscape Navigator 6.2 or higher or Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher browsers. 3. When you have finished, click the Apply button on the panel, then click the Refresh button on your browser to activate the changes.
Note: The only changes that become permanent are when the running config is saved to the Flash memory. Any other elements you enable or disable will go back to their default settings the next time you re-start the switch.

Setting Passwords

Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should define new passwords for both default user names using the username command, record them and put them in a safe place. Passwords can consist of up to eight alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords as follows: 1. Open the console interface with the default user name and password admin to access the Privileged Exec level. 2. Type configure and press <Enter>. 3. Type username guest password 0 password, for the Normal Exec level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>. 4. Type username admin password 0 password, for the Privileged Exec level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
Username: admin Password: CLI session with the EdgeIron 4802CF is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]. Console#configure Console(config)#username guest password 0 [password] Console(config)#username admin password 0 [password] Console(config)#

Setting an IP Address

You must establish IP address information for the switch to obtain management access through the network. This can be done in either of the following ways: Manual You have to input the information, including IP address and subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as the switch, you will also need to specify the default gateway router. Dynamic The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or DHCP address allocation servers on the network. Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the default is VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the only VLAN through which you can gain management access to the switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the new IP address overrides the original IP address and this becomes the new management VLAN.

Entering CLI Commands

This section describes how to enter CLI commands.

Keywords and Arguments

A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example, in the command show interfaces status ethernet 1/5, show interfaces and status are keywords, ethernet is an argument that specifies the interface type, and 1/5 specifies the unit/port. You can enter commands as follows: To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword. To enter multiple commands, enter each command in the required order. For example, to enable Privileged Exec command mode, and display the startup configuration, enter:
Console>enable Console#show startup-config
To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a password for the administrator, enter:
Console(config)#username admin password 0 smith

Minimum Abbreviation

The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely identify a command. For example, the command configure can be entered as con. If an entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for further input.

Command Completion

If you terminate input with a Tab key, the CLI will print the remaining characters of a partial keyword up to the point of ambiguity. In the configure example, typing con followed by a tab will result in printing the command up to configure.

Getting Help on Commands

You can display a brief description of the help system by entering the help command. You can also display command syntax by using the ? character to list keywords or parameters. Showing Commands If you enter a ? at the command prompt, the system will display the first level of keywords for the current command class (Normal Exec or Privileged Exec) or configuration class (Global, Interface,
Line, or VLAN Database). You can also display a list of valid keywords for a specific command. For example, the command show ? displays a list of possible show commands:
Console#show ? access-group access-list bridge-ext calendar dot1x garp gvrp history interfaces ip lacp line logging mac mac-address-table management map marking port public-key pvlan queue radius-server running-config snmp sntp spanning-tree ssh startup-config system tacacs-server users version vlan Console#show

Configuration

Global* Access Control List Interface Line Multiple Spanning Tree VLAN Database
* You must be in Privileged Exec mode to access the Global configuration mode. You must be in Global Configuration mode to access any of the other configuration modes.

Exec Commands

When you open a new console session on switch with the user name guest, the system enters Normal Exec command mode (or guest mode). Only a limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You can access all the commands only in Privileged Exec command mode (or administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec mode, open a new console session with the user name admin, or enter the enable command (followed by the privileged level password if so configured). The command prompt displays as Console> for Normal Exec mode and Console# for Privileged Exec mode. To enter Privileged Exec mode, enter the following commands and passwords:
Username: admin Password: [system login password] CLI session with the EdgeIron 4802CF is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]. Console#
Username: guest Password: [system login password] CLI session with the EdgeIron 4802CF is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]. Console#enable Password: [privileged level password if so configured] Console#

Configuration Commands

Configuration commands are privileged level commands used to modify switch settings. These commands modify the running configuration only and are not saved when the switch is rebooted. To store the running configuration in nonvolatile storage, use the copy running-config startup-config command. The configuration commands are organized into three different modes: Global Configuration - These commands modify the system level configuration, and include commands such as hostname and snmp-server community. Access Control List Configuration - These commands are used for packet filtering. Interface Configuration - These commands modify the port configuration such as speed-duplex and negotiation. Line Configuration - These commands modify the console port configuration, and include command such as parity and databits. VLAN Configuration - Includes the command to create VLAN groups. Multiple Spanning Tree Configuration - These commands configure settings for the selected multiple spanning tree instance.
